If the directions that come with your car tell you to inflate the tires to 200 kPa pressure and you have a tire pressure gauge calibrated in pounds per square inch (psi), what pressure in psi would you use?

Answer:

Pressure = 29.0 psi

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1: Given data

Required pressure in the tires (P): 200 kiloPascal

Step 2: Convert the required pressure in the tires to pounds per square inch (psi)

To convert kPa to psi, we need a conversion factor. In this case, we will use the conversion factor 1 psi = 6.89 kPa.

200 kPa × (1 psi/6.89 kPa) = 29.0 psi

200 kPa is equal to 29.0 psi.
